Clean campground. 10.00 per night. Three sites are first come. Large garbage cans. A mile or so of gravel to camp. River is within 100’ of each site. UPDATE. Stayed here two nights in mid June 2025.

Stayed here two nights in mid June 2025. Windy from 9am-9pm. Good news is that this blows most of the flying bugs away. River flows fast and steady this time of year. Makes for great background noise at night. Showed up on a Wednesday, had the campground to ourselves. Everything is as mentioned above two years ago. The fee is still only 10.00, 5.00 with the interagency pass.

Lots of ground squirrels so hide your food!! Bee's were VERY annoying when trying to eat but that is camping life. Long gravel road so don't drive a really low riding vehicle! Not a lot of swimming holes but a few nice ones! No cell service at all for us T-Mobile users. Did not get service until we went into Yakima.

Lovely little campground next to the Naches river. I gave it only 4 stars as I'm not into off road vehicles buzzing about. That said, during the week, there were none, but on the weekend...wowzers. If you're into that kind of thing, I guess there are lots of trails going up into the backwoods. Only 8 sites, with good shade and space between. No hookups. Vault toilets.

That said, during the week, there were none, but on the weekend...wowzers. If you're into that kind of thing, I guess there are lots of trails going up into the backwoods. Only 8 sites, with good shade and space between. No hookups. Vault toilets. The camp hosts had not yet arrived, so we used thier sandy "beach" inlet. Otherwise, the river was moving pretty fast and not swimmable. We were there the week of June 13-19.

The campground was nice. The campers next to us, not so courteous. Blasted their music all day and till 3:00 am when we finally told them to turn it off. We left the next morning.

We love this campground, the road is a bit rough to get back into it, but it’s well spread out and so peaceful!
